“They are a fantastic football team, they are the best in what they do, and we are very aware of that, but we think we are very good in some areas.

“We must be at our maximum to defeat SpainBut I think they will have to be at their maximum to beat us too.

“I think there is a lot of respect between the two teams, and I would be reluctant to say that we are subjected to this scenario.”
